Losing You
Losing You …
You were my only dream,
the only truth my eyes could see.
No matter where I looked,
your love was warm and tender –
promises never ending.
You were my day and night,
my morning sunlight.
You were all this to me,
if you can believe.
On you, I did rely,
feeling safe and sheltered –
from storms in the night.
Then in one swift moment,
a cloud hid the sun
and when I could see –
through misty eyes.
You were gone,
so suddenly –
as if you were only a dream.
Leaving behind a world dull and gray,
for you never believed,
never thought it could be –
all that you were to me.
So I go on alone,
feeling adrift like upon a rough sea,
forever to have,
you only in the treasured photos,
that I keep
and in the memories stored in my heart.

Such a loving, emotive verse, Rasma.
Thank you, Phyllis.
To lose love is a travesty and the pain lingers on. But in life ‘what’s for you cannot pass by you’ so in the end, what you had was what you needed and now, one must move on, for love is in waiting for any open-heart. Nicely emoted and penned, Rasma.
Thank you, Tony.
Pain of losing someone is the worse kind – enjoyed very much Rasma.
